Paruparo Lyrics Meaning Bini | FLAMES
Dana Balagtas and Jhoanna Robles frame the song as a butterfly’s flight. The writers note, ‘It used to be grey, but now I’m so vibrant.’ This color shift shows real growth and freedom.
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad lilipad lilipadIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, it’ll fly, it’ll fly
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Isang sulyap na mahiwagaWith just one mysterious glance,
Mabihag ka ng aking hirayaYou’ll be captivated by my imagination,
Sa kalawakan ako’y malayaIn the vastness of space, I’m free,
Sumasabay sa ihip ng tadhanaMoving along with the winds of fate
Sa’n man dalhinWherever it may lead,
Kung ako’y papalarinIf luck’s on my side,
Mundo ay harding nais libutinThe world’s a garden I want to explore,
At kukulayan ang alapaapAnd I’ll bring color to the clouds,
Ating kalawakan ay magniningningOur universe is going to shine
‘Di biro ang pinagdaanan kong itoWhat I’ve been through’s no joke,
Noon kulay abo ngayon ang tingkad koIt used to be grey, but now I’m so vibrant
Itong makulay na pakpak ngayong taglay ko naThese colorful wings that I finally possess,
Alam ko na alam mo na alam ko naI know it, you know it, I know it now
AaahAaah
At heto na ako ganap nang kung sino akoAnd here I am, fully becoming who I’m meant to be,
Malaya nang lumilipad sa langit parang paru-paroFlying freely through the sky like a butterfly
Na lagi lang sinusundanThat’s always being followed,
Nanalig sa tibok ng puso koI trusted the beat of my heart,
Ngayon ako’y buong buoNow I’m finally whole
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Unti-unting maririnigLittle by little, you’ll hear it,
Sa daigdig ang sariling musikaMy own music echoing through the world,
Sinulat ko sa pahinaThat I wrote down on the pages,
Mga dalang dalangin sinagot mo naThe prayers I carried, you’ve finally answered
Hindi magpapadala anumang bulongI won’t let any whisper get to me,
Sa akin ng takot kapalara’y iikotOf the fear within me, the wheel of fate will turn,
Buong loob paghuhugutan ng lakasI’ll draw strength from deep within my soul,
Ang pag-asa’y walang wakasHope has no end
Not one not two not three but eightNot one, not two, not three, but eight
Walo hanggang dulo always been our sayin’Eight ’til the very end’s always been our sayin’
Pakpak na makulay ngayo’y handa naColorful wings are ready now,
Sasabay sa hangin abutin ang talaRiding the wind to reach for the stars
Libutin man ang buong mundoEven if I travel the whole world,
Walang sinuman ang katulad moThere’s no one else quite like you,
Sa’n ka man dalhin ng hangin ay ‘di dapat humintoWherever the wind takes you, you shouldn’t stop,
Just spread your wings you’re free to flyJust spread your wings, you’re free to fly
‘Di biro ang pinagdaanan kong itoWhat I’ve been through’s no joke,
Noon kulay abo ngayon ang tingkad koIt used to be grey, but now I’m so vibrant
Itong makulay na pakpak ngayong taglay ko naThese colorful wings that I finally possess,
Alam ko na alam mo na alam ko naI know it, you know it, I know it now
AaahAaah
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
Lilipad lilipad ang paru-paroThe butterfly will fly, it’ll fly away
Lilipad lilipad sundan mo akoIt’ll fly, it’ll fly, so follow me
